Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman

The indictment is unsealed in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania after Guzman’s arrest. U.S. Assistant Attorney:

The arrest of Chapo deals a serious blow to the amount of heroin and cocaine traveling into this country and may well have an influence on the amount of arms being exchanged for drugs.

The U.S. Attorney is seeking his extradition for prosecution in Harrisburg on charges of conspiracy to smuggle heroin and cocaine and to launder drug proceeds.
